摘要

Following his undergraduateEngineering Physics degree at McGill, Bob began graduate studies at McGill's Radiation Laboratory, earning an M.Sc. degree in beta spectroscopy in 1959. Following this, he opted to continue in a different and more applied direction for a Ph.D. During its first decade of operation, the McGill 100 MeV proton synchrocyclotron had done only internal target bombardments. The lab director, J.S. Foster, and later, R.E. Bell, recognizing Bob's engineering background and interests, suggested that as a PhD project he design and build a regenerative beam extraction system. This really was the beginning of Bob's lifetime interest in the design of ion dynamics in a variety of systems. The project was successful, and in 1962 the cyclotron produced its first external beam. This gave the cyclotron a new research life, and the laboratory continued to operate for another 3 decades. The very first experiment done with the extracted beam yielded the lab's most important result: the discovery of beta-delayed proton radioactivity. In the years that followed, Bob continued his work on a wide variety of experiments in beta and gamma spectroscopy. All of these were marked by innovation and ingenuity. He built a pneumatic target extraction system ('rabbit') to study isotopes with decay lifetimes of tens of milliseconds. For high-energy beta decay studies he designed and built a novel spectrometer using a superconducting solenoid magnet with an intrinsic germanium detector mounted in the bore. And during those years, he was the person mainly responsible for rescuing a perennially ailing cyclotron. On one occasion an ion source cooling tube broke and the cyclotron's vacuum system filled with water like a giant aquarium. On another morning during a run, an internal piece came loose in the large rotating capacitor, and left the copper rotor and stator blades a mangled mess. Bob disassembled the whole thing, and hammered everything back into shape; it ran for another ten years. The worst problem of all was the development of many leaks from the main magnet coils, which were essentially hollow water-cooled rectangular tubes. We decided that these should be repaired by separating all the coil layers and inserting new cooling pads. Bob oversaw the whole operation, and after the repair everything worked perfectly again. Visitors to the lab often commented on the collection of fried and twisted components on Bob's windowsill. These were John Crawford, Physics Department, McGill University.mementos of many past battles with both successful and failed experiments, and Bob had stories about all of them.
